[quote=Anonymous]Wow OP you've gotten a lot of unhelpful or bizarrely rude replies, with a few sensible ones too. 
We have had difficult dogs over the years, and tried various expensive trainers. A good trainer will help, but you have to be willing to put in the time at home afterwards to continue to work with and train the dog. Our training didn't work because we didn't put in time after the sessions ended.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is get that dog tired out with tons of exercise. Either lots of long walks/runs a day, plus out in the fenced yard for an hour or two, and possibly dog day care 1 or 2 times a week. A tired out dog is a good dog! 
Making sure that someone is getting the pup outside for bathroom breaks 3-4 x a day, at regular times, should take care of any pee accidents.

That is great that your one child is bonded with the dog and willing to help. Could you have him/her take the dog out for a regularly scheduled LONG walk or run each day? And as for giving the dog away, if you do so, be prepared for this child to never forget or forgive. I have a friend who's mother got rid of a beloved pet when he was a child. This was so painful that he still feels bitter and sad 35 years later.

Good luck to you.[/quote]
